Lake Havasu Seaplanes and IPAs

Havasu weather remains warm even in the fall. Right now, we sit pretty at a comfortable 80+F. It’s the perfect weather to partake in great outdoor activities. This weekend, you have the opportunity to enjoy Lake Havasu seaplanes and some IPAs, if you so desire. The London Bridge Seaplane Classic takes place at Lake Havasu State Park from Friday to Sunday. But you can take a break from the Lake Havasu seaplanes on Saturday afternoon to enjoy some finely crafted brews at the Chillin ‘N Swillin Beer Festival over in Rotary Park.

There’s more to living at the lake than water sports. Fun can be found above, below and adjacent to the water any time of the year. This weekend in Lake Havasu promises a mixture of seaplanes and IPAs. Whatever your choice of activities happens to be, just make it fun and be safe. You can’t ask for anything more.
